Sorry for all these questions, but I can't find the answers anywhere else.
..
feel free to refer me to documentation (maybe then I can find these
answers
myself).
AppleScript Language Guide works well...it may not *seem* to be up to date,
but honestly, it is 99% up to date
What is the difference between the following:
set myVar to "path:to:something" as alias
set myVar to alias "path:to:something"
Don't they both make myVar into an alias to "path:to:something"? Even
though
the file exists, the first one fails OMM, while the second one doesn't.
Can
anyone explain what's going on here? To me it seems like both statements
are
the same -- they only do things in a different order.
Both fail on my machine ... oh wait, I need to replace "path:to:something:
" with an actually lcoation ;-)
They both work on my machine with "Macintosh HD:Users:" ... what is the
error message? Does it say it can't coerce or that the file doesn't exist?
Thanks again, and sorry to bother everyone :)
If you were bothering us, this list wouldn't be much of help to anyone,
now would it?
